• Does it have a cure for Oh gosh my Easter egg was enormous and now it's mostly inside me but also now it's dinner time? Probably, actually XD Glorious weather out, with lots of time for eating, dozing, learning to spin (the wool, rather than the gym sort), the new Good Omens podcast from @chipperish and generally marvelling at both warm sunshine AND a cool breeze on the same day. Excellent, tbh x Hope your day was also well and good as possible! 📚💕~P . #booksbooksbooks #amreading #medicalbooks #dragonsblood #willowbark #bibliophile #bookishlove #bookcover #nonfictionbooks #historynerd #medievaltimes

  • Today's book is a fine example of one which politely hops off the shelf, asking for your consideration - Robert Gibbings' gorgeous Coming Down the Seine, this version for and published by Readers' Union, in 1955.The cover (or wrapper, as it terms itself), was designed by Suzanne Taylor, and it is a lovely thing, . Gibbings was an Irish writer and artist, born in 1889, who co-founded the Society of Wood Engravers in 1920. I love wood engraving, and the reason this post was not posted when I started it two days' ago is because I went down such a rabbit hole of the fine old art of woodcuts! . This book is one of a series Gibbings wrote and illustrated of rivers of the world - I must get his one about the Thames - and I love how specific that pursuit was. I don't recall where I found this book, which usually means it belonged to my great-aunt, who was very into travel books. . In #patcbox news -the April boxes are winging their way around the world! Thank you so much to everyone who's shared #bookstagram photos, stories, unboxing videos and blogs - we really are a word-of-mouth little business, and your sharing and support enables us to do what we do! If you'd like to sign up for a May box, we're open now - hop by the website, choose your genre (sci-fi, children's, classic, classic thriller, or random), choose whether you'd like one box, a recurring subscription, or a 3, 6 or 12-month package, and then fill out our subscriber questionaire and you're done: we'll get searching for a vintage read just for you! . Crow and I will be trying to be largely offline for the Bank Holidays, but Crow will be back at the inbox on Tuesday :) I'll try and Instagram a few of the things I've not done previously, because it really does help me get through the #tbrpile like a curious public motivation XD Anyway, whatever you're doing this weekend (and especially if you have to work through it, I do not miss that!) may you have the stories you want and need 💕📚🌱

  • Sometimes you look behind the door and find a) your wedding reception shoes (THEY LIGHT UP) b) your underused kettlebell, c) an ENTIRE BOOKCASE you'd forgotten about since you moved it from one room to another. I obviously want to reread everything immediately. It's a fine bookcase. . #bookshelf #booksbooksbooks #booklover #bibliophile #weddingshoes #tbrpile #shelfie #tuesdaythoughts #mybookfeatures #bookstagram #bookish
